Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has given his explicit support of the anti-globalization movement, following activists’ disruption of the G-8 leaders’ summit in Genoa last week. He stated that western regimes do not support humanitarian values and therefore these nations’ youth are rebelling, reported Gulf News.
He predicted that the anti-globalization movement would attract more followers in the future, making reference to recent demonstrations in Italy. At a recent cabinet meeting Hussein also maintained that such movements would eventually form organized political groups.
Demonstrations against the recent convention in Genoa, attended by the world’s eight wealthiest countries, have claimed one life. ― (MENA Report)
